LowNSlow Re 912 - That's the Escapade you're talking about - looks pretty good, but for me it loses out with side-by-side vs tandem (s-b-s good if you fly with a passenger a lot, but otherwise not for me), and also the load-carrying is compromised. The Easy Raider is exceptional for load, the Escapade is pretty average for a microlight. The aerodynamics have been cleaned up a bit over the Easy Raider, so cruise speed is published as being better despite the extra width, but the difference is not night & day.
Re the sub-thread on Cubs - I really love these too, but age & cost do make them 2nd (3rd/4th/5th ...?) choice for me - apart from which with my NPPL(M) I can't fly them without all the additional grief and expense of an SEP rating......
